The ENDORSE community of practice is live on Joinup

The first European data conference on reference data and semantics, ENDORSE, set out to build bridges between administration, research, academia and the private sector in finding ways forward towards a Europe where data can flow across sectors and across Member States, for the benefit of all. The conference took place as an online event from 16 to 19 March 2020 and presented a unique opportunity to discuss the future of data management in public services, and tackle the issues in the fields of interoperability and knowledge management. Now is the time to make the next step and support the ENDORSE community of practice.

The ENDORSE conference gathered over 500 registered participants and many more live-stream viewers from all over the world. More than 80 contributions, round tables and workshops made up for a highly engaging programme. All participants were invited to contribute to the discussions, which resulted in many inspiring interactions. A strong support from the participants for encouraging a broadening of cross-sectoral and cross-national collaborations inspired the creation of the ENDORSE exchange platform at the European Commission's collaborative platform JoinUp. The newly established community of practice is open to all who want to share and expand their expertise in semantic web and knowledge management. 

The ENDORSE exchange platform enables the community members to share recommendations, open source tools, ontologies, vocabularies, and also promote their own webinars in the field, champion new ideas and a lot more. The community already counts tens of experts and keeps growing! The content will be updated regularly. There are no limits to the platform´s potential other than your imagination. Join us and become an active member! The ENDORSE exchange platform is where knowledge sharing thrives.
